This game is for Outpost VI, the play-by-post convention. You don't sign up here, you sign up >HERE< first and then come here to tell us about yourself.
As of this posting, early access seating for other Outpost GMs is open (but if you're one of those you probably don't need me to tell you).
General seating opens for all February 10th.
The convention starts March 7th, so the game itself will start in... almost exactly one month!
Discussion thread.
Please share:
1) Character Name
2) Ancestry and Class
3) Perception Bonus
4) Any additional Initiative bonus, or other passive modifiers to how things work (Dubious Knowledge?)
5) Preferred Exploration Activity
6) GM Glyphs or other bonuses?
7) Anything I forgot to ask?
In the event that a player is expected for more than 24 hours in combat or another situation where we're waiting on that person, I may bot you. I will not use any consumable resources unless asked. If you'd like to share some bot instructions, great!
On the Slides (also linked in the header), you'll find space to add your character information and token and to set a general marching order.
There's some information for you there, too.

Greetings, and thanks for hosting this game! I'm super excited about it. I'm in the course of doing one last quest which should allow me to level to 2.
Here's the requested information:
1) Ennoia Rylintar
2) Spiresworn Elf (cave)
3) +7 when game starts
4) Default exploration activity is Avoid Notice (Stealth +10 when game starts)
5) See #4
6) N/A
7) I'll have the Quiet Allies skill feat in case we decide to all be stealthy.
@Pirate Rob: Long time no see! I'm really glad to see you're still around.
Links added for RPG Chronicles and Google Slides. Please fill them out at your convenience.
I see most of you have added your characters to the game, but most still need to add your profile here and fill out RPG Chronicles.
Also, I have been informed that the con will offer door prizes! These prizes take the form of Paizo online store vouchers and will be delivered via e-mail. That means that to be eligible to win you must include your e-mail address when you fill out the RPG Chronicles page.
...basically everybody does that anyway, and thank you because it's the easiest way to deliver Chronicles after the game. But now you have extra incentive in case you weren't gonna.
I'll assume that I can, since you're asking.
...yes, I have figured out how to do that. It is done.
Most of you still need to complete the RPG Chronicles page, so don't forget to do that.
And also: Feel free to start introducing your characters in the Gameplay thread.

Posted in Gameplay thread, and I'm very enthusiastic about this game!
However, I just wanted to let you know a few days in advance - I won't be available (ski camp with my students) from March 8th-10th. I will try to check my games, but I don't know how the network will be, nor if I'll have time to post. Sincere apologies in advance, and thank you for your understanding.

Tai Ghee, Solveig, don't forget to fill out the RPG Chronicles page. Thank you!
Almost game time, now...
And we're off. Mec, Khagra, how would you like to distribute your Hero Points? And go ahead and choose your school items if you haven't already.
Tai Ghee, I do particularly need to know your character's level to determine Challenge Points and tier.
It does look like we'll be in high tier, so the level 1 characters get a Level Bump. This means they:
* Increase every DC the PC has by 1.
* Increase the attack modifiers, attack damage, spell damage, saving throw modifiers, skill modifiers, Perception modifiers, and AC of the PC by 1.
* Increase the Hit Point totals of the PC by 10 or by 10%, whichever is higher.
Higher-level characters, show off your Mentor Boons. If you have 20 Reputation with a faction and don't have one yet, I've added some information to the Slides.
They're free Boons with a prerequisite of 20 Reputation with a particular faction. They do nothing for you, but allow you to grant a boost to a character receiving a Level Bump due to your excellent mentorship. A character can benefit from up to two Mentor Boons at a time, so if three different ones are available you can choose two.

Khagra has
While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you help your less experienced colleagues recognize danger and withstand danger. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to Perception checks and Initiative rolls to 2.

1) Character Name: Tai Ghee
2) Ancestry and Class: Half-Orc Monk
3) Perception Bonus: +7
4) Any additional Initiative bonus, or other passive modifiers to how things work (Dubious Knowledge?): none
5) Preferred Exploration Activity: Search
6) GM Glyphs or other bonuses?: none
7) Anything I forgot to ask?: not that I can think of
Ghardak, Solveig, if either of you have never done a level bump before and want a little more help or explanation, just say the word.
We'll be sorry to see you go.
I think I should probably bot Ennoia for this encounter that has already started, and then let her fade out. Which knocks us back to low tier, I think.
GMs might choose this time to award a Hero Point to a player who has displayed exceptional roleplaying, or to the player whose PC was most critical in fending off the creatures at the docks.
Now taking nominations.
And, sorry for all the now-moot stuff about level bumps and Mentor Boons. With 5 players we're now in low tier, and you don't need them.
Yep. Sorry about that.
Oh hang on, sorry. I'm making that ability too good. Stride and then hide. So they've successfully hidden, but you still know their spaces.
Now might be a good time to verify that everything looks right on RPGChrinicles.
Thanks for playing!
